FANCY A CHAT? | HELLO@AVASHAHRES.COM

Hi! My name is Ava Shahres.
I'm an illustrator, fine artist, and blossoming designer in my 4th year at Capilano University's IDEA School of Design.

I've got a passion for electric colour palettes, bold typefaces, and making my work feel as expressive as I am. I’m obsessed with curating the perfect aesthetic, from designing conceptual brands to selecting matching earrings for my outfit. Outside of school, you'll find me wandering around the city, dressed in monochromatic pink.
